frieder 's review for:

The King in Yellow by Robert W. Chambers
3.0
dark mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

So if you're in the mood for some interesting supernatural Gothic stories, that somehow revolve around a mysterious book of the same name, read the first few short stories, if you want something else completely, and rather want to know about the whatever some hedonistic artists, living in the Latin quarter of Paris, are up to, read the later half of short stories.
I would probably give the first short story, The repairer of Reputations 5 Stars, and the last two The Street of Our Lady of the Fields and Rue Barreè 1 Star each. The other short stories are somewhere in-between. I'd say give the first 2-5 stories a shot if you're up to it, but definitely skip the last two
